Yes, we still recommend AMR though it is far more effective to use it for building links to your youtube videos, weebly pages and other pages that you've built on 'authority domains' than to use it too much for building links directly to your own website.

This form of link buidling isn't very effective when it comes to newer websites. It can be 'ok' but it is very effective when you have content on estabilished domains like youtube, weebly, etc, that you want to get ranking in Google,
